Description

Jeremy should be at home eating his supper, instead, he has traveled through time with a cat named Aristotle to Mount Olympus, home of the Greek gods.

Neither he nor Aristotle has any idea how to get home, let alone how to help Mr. Magnus lift Zeus's curse on his theater, where no play has been performed for years. Not knowing what else to do, Jeremy and Aristotle climb toward the summit, finding adventure all the way.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

Excerpt: Jeremy and the Enchanted Theater (by (author) Becky Citra; illustrated by Jessica Milne)

Something silver flashed in the corner of the room.
Jeremy stepped closer.
A jagged lightning bolt glowed and shimmered.
"Neat!" said Jeremy. He picked it up.
It felt warm.
His fingers tingled.
"Put that down!" screeched Mr. Magnus. "Can't you read? DON'T TOUCH!"
Everything swirled around Jeremy.
Mr. Magnus cried, "He's not ready! He didn't read the rule book!"
